Calathea Angela

Calathea Angela care guide

Calathea Angela thrives in bright, indirect light and should be kept out of direct sunlight, which can fade or burn its vibrant leaf patterns. Water the plant when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry, using filtered or rainwater to avoid leaf damage from chlorine or fluoride. This tropical plant loves humidity, so mist it regularly or place it near a humidifier to maintain optimal moisture levels in the air. Ideal temperatures range from 18°C to 24°C, and the plant should be protected from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes. Feed monthly with a diluted liquid fertiliser during spring and summer to encourage lush, healthy growth. With the right care, Calathea Angela will reward you with vibrant, richly patterned foliage year-round.

Key features of Calathea Angela (Calathea roseopicta 'Angela')

Calathea Angela is known for its stunning ornamental foliage, featuring round, vibrant green leaves with bold pink markings and rich purple undersides. This tropical indoor plant adds dramatic colour and texture to any space, while its compact size—typically reaching around 30–40 cm tall—makes it ideal for shelves, desks, and tabletops. As a member of the prayer plant family, its leaves move with light changes, folding up at night and unfurling in the morning. Calathea Angela is non-toxic to pets and children, making it a safe and stylish option for family homes. It also acts as a natural air purifier and thrives in low to medium indirect light, making it both beautiful and functional for indoor environments.
